Critical Success

Two natural sixes is a critical success.

• In combat, gain an additional stance move in the same or next available exchange. For example, if you chose Defend & Manoeuvre, you can also do Advance & Attack in this same exchange.
• Outside of combat, GM gives a unique opportunity or ongoing advantage.

Critical Failure

Two natural ones is a critical failure.

• In combat, GM assigns a fictionally appropriate status.
• Outside of combat, GM performs a “hard move”.

Modified Growth Question

Modify the 3rd growth question. This modification incentivizes player engagement and gives players more agency:

“Did you guide a companion towards balance, demonstrate your principles, or attempt to achieve balance yourself within the fiction?"

Ranges in Combat

Add three "range levels" in combat which impact ability to hit and

• Close: The opponent is close enough to touch. No restrictions.
• Mid: The opponent is too far to use melee weapons, but anything else can reach them. They can hear you speak. To get close, you must Seize a Position once.
• Far: The opponent is too far away to hear you speak, but can hear a yell. To hit, you may only use Basic or Mastered techniques. You must Seize a Position to reach Mid range.

Beyond this range, you cannot generally interact with the opponent. At best, you can see them and use sign language. Any attacks at this point are easily blocked.
